Since I am the avid fan over at the regular JPM. I should start this Thread :D:D:D

Lets talk Ayu!

Right now, she just released her STEP you/ is this LOVE? Single about a month or so ago. She will be releasing another single this July as stated in ViVi Mag. And she has a theme song to a movie this upcoming Autumn...

I loved STEP You. One of her best singles in years.

Ayu's a great singer and entertainer.

Boys and Girls is another favorite.

I have computer files of all her albums and 90% of the PV's, so if you need something, ask and I'll look.

Yes, STEP you/is this LOVE? Is a bery good song.
I can't wait for her next release because of that :P But I must wait :D:D:D

Weird HK Newspaper stating that Ayu was going to retire, tabloids :P

You know those kind.
My motto on them :

You read, you laugh, you forget.

ayu is probably my favourite jpop singer after h!p, but mostly because of the plethora of remixes that get released.  it always takes me awhile to get used to the newer ayu singles... and after that i immediately start wishing for a dance/trance remix :P  anyways i've grown to like the new songs, step you is  pretty good!

one thing i am always amazed with ayu is her tremendous popularity even though she can't sing live for shit.  i still support her anyways  :lol:

She once said she was the very image of imperfection :P
Not a professional at all, people want to be like her because they see themselves in her.

Although her voice is not at all perfect or near it. Her lyrics and charisma covers most of it.

Holy crap, her remixes are the shit! As much as I like her regular songs, her voice was made for remixing and the many varieties of it is amazing.

I used to be a huge Ayumi fan from 1999 until 2001 or so. I really liked her old stuff, but generally lost interest in her music after "Unite!" was released. That was probably the last single I bought from her. I still LOVE her old songs, though...such as Whatever, A Song For XX, Depend on You, Seasons, etc.


I haven't liked her recent stuff too much, but I must admit that Inspire kicked major ass. Could anyone post some of her most recent singles?

I've been a fan since 1999 too. And, I don't think you would be too disappointed with her latest album...and especially her newest single, which is probably one of her best in a while.  :)

Ayu posted an update on TeamAyu last night:

She said that she has finished recording, and that it's a 'summer song' that everyone can make summer memories with. Kaz from TeamAyu has said previously that it may be out by mid-June or at least on the radio by then. It's hard to say, plus he never says anything concrete. But as recording hs finished, I expect we will hear some official news soon.

By the sounds of it, she's also finished recording the song for the movie.

The PV shooting was made overseas (Unknown as of yet) and her website is updated with new photos and all.

Yeah, I'm in the same position regarding Ayu.  I absolutely loved her music from A Song For XX until Unite!.  The Duty album was outstanding and several of the singles from I am... were excellent but from Unite! onwards I started to lose interest and the huge over-saturation of Dearest just made me bored.

I've still enjoyed quite a few of the singles she's released along the way but too many of them fall into that long, slow, overwrought ballad category.  I'm sure some people would suggest it's maturity or growth but it's more like a lack of ideas and reliance on a formula.  They're not bad songs but they're nowhere near as interesting or well written as anything from her peak.

I must admit that Step You has a very catchy chorus.  I didn't like it at all at first but after they played the Panasonic CM a million times every day, always two of them back to back, I couldn't get it out of my head.  She needs to lose the old women who sing back-up for her live though.  They make Ayu herself look older than she is and that's not a good thing when people are already saying she looks like an obachan clinging to her youth now.

Post by: Hamasaki_Yoshizawa on July 14, 2005, 03:41:37 AM
As many of you may know, there have been lots of rumors about avex dropping Ayu, Ayu retiring and everything, sales figures dropping,so Max Matsuura posted this on Ayu's official site. I thought it was very interesting and uplifting, to hear something nice about Ayu for once. Translated by evolusean at AHS.


Recently Hamasaki and I went out to eat together.
We went to "Makkuroo" in Roppongi.
Why there?
For some reason or another I was at that restaurant and met Ayu's friend,
Mika John (the president of Peach John). Afterward, Ayu heard that I was there
And asked me to take her, or something like that.
So there's no particular reason.
Occasionally we'll eat together. It's a normal thing for us.

We talked about different things. How she should attack the second half of the year.
She's been coming out with a lot of songs that make good singles
And the possibility of a new album at the end of the year is likely.
If so, a tour shortly after is likely, but right now I can only say it's a possibility.

In 10 years I think Hamasaki will be a Madonna or a Yuming, not just anyone.
She will be the first Japanese woman in today's Japan
To be in her mid-thirties and still continue
To be supported by young people.
Make no mistake about it.

Jeez, the tabloids say all sorts of things like she's not selling as much anymore,
Or that Hamasaki is over, but they simply don't know her at all.
Their merit and creativity should be more properly evaluated.
I believe it's the staff's fault that it's not.
It's sad that no one takes evaluations as much as doing it is doing it.

Certain people have been looking at Hamasaki through rose-colored glasses from the start.
When we've taken away those glasses, I bet they'll realize how wonderful she is.
There are so many creators who can't speak with her even if they're working with her,
Even though she wants to talk.
Something needs to be done about that. [Kore kara wa....]

I'm telling you of her true strength and talent firsthand.
Girls like Hamasaki don't come along very often.
Even thought I'm told to go find another Hamasaki, it's pointless.
Because there is only one Hamasaki Ayumi in this world.
Her distinct talent combined with her distinct visual,
Having her superior taste and fashion sense
And still she writes poetry, music, and sees through her generation.
Maybe I could find a person like that.
But I definitely won't find Hamasaki Ayumi.
It's not a matter of comparison. There's only one of her.

When an article saying "Ayu has been dried out by Avex"
Came out recently, Ayu laughed so hard.
It was an article written by a foolish reporter with no grounds at all.
But nowadays it's not so funny when even those kinds of tabloid articles
Get around in blogs and stuff, and it seems as if they were true.
Hamasaki and I said, laughing,
That we should do a commercial saying
"These articles are lying."
"I'm not dried ou~t."
"I'm not drying her ou~t."

But among the people that believe these articles are fans.
Naturally we thought we should pay careful attention to the reality of that fact.
For myself and for Avex
We think of Ayu as the first and final specially existing talent.
And from now on, no matter who I produce, I have no intention of writing
The inscription of "produced by max matsuura" in anyone but Hamasaki's credits.
We haven't discussed it much, but my relationship with Hamasaki is that of war buddies
Who have fought together and who are irreplaceable to eachother.
There's no way we could not have eachother.
Our relationship is one that no one can cut into.

Well, that's that.
And the next music video cost 240,000,000.
I wonder if that's an all-Japan record. With that sort of production cost, you could make a movie! (LOL)
Usually a music video is made on 4,000,000 to 10,000,000 yen.
I think EXILE's are like, between 40-50,000,000.
It's not really great to spend that much,
But please try to see her next musc video.
Incidentally, my name's WOMEN cost more than 100,000,000.
But it's because Ayu doesn't half-ass anything... Seriously...
That's my unrivaled partner.

Has anyone heard her new song lately? It really sounds good :)
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: shadowstar on July 23, 2005, 08:59:28 AM
I really like [fairyland], after hearing it, I immediately declared as one of her best singles to date; in my opinion. I especially love the chorus and the beginning of the song, the whole thing sounds somewhat "uplifting" in a way.

the b-side, [alterna], is also pretty good. it's another rock-ish song though, sounding similar to [GAME], but I've liked all the rock-ish songs Ayu has released so far.

has anyone heard her new song? she has a new one coming out, even though [fairyland] hasn't been released yet. it's entitled [HEAVEN] and I think it's a gorgeous song! <3 I really like it! it's also the theme song for the movie, "SHINOBI".

Alterna and Fairyland are pretty nice tunes too :)

Oh yeah, in other news. Ayu had to cancel her appearance in Hokkaido with A-Nation 06 due to a throat sickness [nothing biggy]. Because of that she will be doing a live for the fans there.

My first thought on that remix was " huh, what's Kevin Little doing on an Ayu-song???"  :shock:
It really sounds like Little's "turn me on" (or what it was called) and I didn't like that song at all, but I really LOVE that remix of "STEP you"!!!!

Fairyland reminded me alot of another of her songs (I think Greatful Days maybe) and I didn't like it as much at first, but somehow that happens alot recently.
I like her rockish side, so I love Alterna, but I hate the PV! Clowns, why on earth damn Clowns? (Me = Clownphobia)

her covers are getting more simple, but they're still gorgeous :love: I think the one for "HEAVEN'" is a bit too plain though, but I still like it.

the font they used for heaven is just so plain. maybe if they had put a design behind it or something.

it's just empty.

the PV looks great though.

Ayu's new single began at 2nd in the Oricon Singles. Beaten by Kanjani8's new single. But she quickly took back the Top single sales after day three or so. Lets all congradulate her :cool:

Er...I don't think so.

I think the train signifies the journey the spirits take to go to heaven. It's a pretty common idea of the afterlife in Japan (I think).

Finally I saw ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2005 A ~MY STORY~  :bounce:  :bounce:  :bounce:
I was already thinking how to see it as I didn't know what codec it needed but with vlc player I could finally watch it. It would be so much easier if everyone would use divx or xvid. This DVD is really worth buying -It's awesome. I wish I could have been there in audience. There isn't songs like is this LOVE and fairyland but it's amazing concert. I feel so stupid now as I didn't ask my mother to buy this DVD as she just came back from Japan.  :evil:

Post by: shadowstar on November 18, 2005, 10:54:47 AM
I saw her "BOLD & DELICIOUS" PV yesterday.

a lot of people don't really like it, but I think it's an awesome PV :heart: I really like it, partly because of the fact that it's shot in NYC. I also think Ayu looks good in long, dark brown hair. her new hair also makes her seem more "elegant".

I admit, the song seems a bit 'off' sometimes due to some parts of the song not seeming to mix well with the rest (mainly the chorus), but I still love the song. I also think they could have cut out the part of the people giving Ayu curious or WTF looks, lol!
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: chocolate on November 18, 2005, 06:34:52 PM
I guess I'm one of those who didn't like it.  To me it was just boring PV and song was also quite mediocre. -I would like more songs like STEP you/is this LOVE? That's why I'm disappointed.
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: Hamasaki_Yoshizawa on November 19, 2005, 08:14:07 AM
Well, if Ayu keeps on doing the same types of songs, then she wouldn't be Ayu anymore, lol. Her music changes with her mood, I can also say that to her lyrics too. So anything from Ayu is a surprise. 8)

But anyway, BOLD & DELICIOUS is a fun PV. Like I have said in two different forums. Since is the end of the year. Most people are expecting Christmas Ballads but Ayu is releasing something nice and upbeat for everyone, and that's good. I really like it :D

On other news...
Ayu is Japan's Queen of BALLADS!

This is a little off topic, but...wtf, no Gackt is that top 10?  As much as I love Hirai Ken, Gackt owns his ass when it comes to ballads.  And Orange Range has some of the most pathetic excuses for ballads imaginable.  Am I the only one that finds the committee that makes these rankings to be utterly inept?  These are nothing more than glorified popularity contests.   :x

Post by: Hamasaki_Yoshizawa on December 06, 2005, 02:07:16 AM
The album will be out this New Years Eve. Jan. 1st. But in other news

Ayu's newest single debuts at #1 on the Oricon WEEKLY Chart. She is officially the female artist with the most #1 singles, tying with Seiko Matsuda. She also shares the second place for the artist with the most #1 singles of ALL TIME with Seiko M. "B&D/Pride" sold approx. 84,000 copies (holy crap! a new low!?).

Including this single, Ayu is also the female artist with the MOST copies of singles sold, with 19,610,000 copies.

Also...
- This is Ayu's 13th consecutive #1 single (starting with "Free & Easy").
- Ayu also retains the honor of being the female artist with the most top ten singles (36 singles, including this one).

So, Ayu has achieved three record: female artist with the most #1 singles, female artist with the most top ten singles, female artist with the most copies of singles sold!

CONGRATS!

to be honest, I think Born to be.. is a better song than Startin'. I just like it more, and it seems catchier to me. but, I still think Startin' is a really good song.

as for her new PV: I love her pink Britney-esque "I'm A Slave For U" outfit, it's really cute and looks awesome on her. yes, the Westerners acting was horrible, but kind of amusing :lol: and I just love the PV, overall. great dancing too, which is always expected from Ayu.

New summer single from Ayu hitting the stores on June 21st!

Following the pattern of "A", "H" and "&" the single will contain 3 new songs. The cover jackets are different for CD+DVD and CD only editions. The only song whose title is revealed is "Beautiful Fighters" that is the tie-up to Panasonic D-snap Audio CM.

3 new PVs would rock, especially since it's Ayu's 40th single :inlove:

It's is called BLUE BIRD.

And "BLUE BIRD" sounds so lame, she could've used 青い鳥/Aoi Tori instead :(

Well, Sweetbox was just another experiment she did...

Maybe if she wrote BLUE BIRD in Japanese it would sound lame to the Japanese people. :P
Besides, she never writes her songs names in Japanese. Except for HANABI and kanariya.

You forgot Hana from "A Song for XX" album :P

But anyway, what's wrong with you people hating Japanese titles? O_o; Even Amuro released a song with kanji title at last so I think it's time for one for Ayu too... instead of westernizing her music to extremes like gospel >_>

Post by: Wuffer on May 25, 2006, 02:25:45 PM
^ Hana... I should've known there were more than two. xD

And I have nothing against Japanese titles. But the Japanese people maybe find English an exciting language, at least they use it everywhere and maybe for grabbing attention it's effective. It might be some kind of sales point to use English.
Not that I have studied Japanese culture or people, just thinking. xD I guess I read somewhere that Japanese people are interested in Western culture so....

Some of the Japanese are extreme Western-holics, it all started after WW2... I'm not the one to judge anyway, but I personally hate random Engrish in J-pop  and it really stroke me when Ayumi started to use it in her lyrics since "RAINBOW" album X_X She's a talented songwriter, her "A Song for XX" text even made it to some kind of elementary school book, and it's kind of sad that she doesn't name her songs in Japanese, imho.

I'm not sure if you can really count 卒業写真, as it's a cover of Arai Yumi, and we were talking about Ayu's original songs... she writes them after all... right? Ghost-writers rumors never end >_>
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: Wuffer on May 27, 2006, 01:05:31 AM
At first I didn't even notice any english in her songs. Only after reading the lyrics... Japanese just have so magnificent pronunciation. xD Sometimes it's really odd in some Jpop songs, they have english and japanese mixed up in a way that I sometimes think it doesn't even mean anything. O_o I don't think Ayu has anything like that... Maybe STEP you. :D

I've only been a fan of Ayu for about one and a half year so I really haven't seen the progress or changes she has been through... I downloaded her songs randomly and had no clue which were older and which newer. So I started to think that she's really talented, versatile artist and one can expect anything from her. :P

I'm always wondering for some people who say they're dissappointed about something she does. :confused: Why can't they just enjoy what she's doing since they are her fans? It's entertainment so why not be entertained? If I define something as entertainment, I don't think deeply about it or try to find hidden meanings. With Ayu it might be good to think sometimes, but I guess I'm too stupid for that. :evil: :D Anyway, at the same time I do understand them, one can't like everything. It's just me who can't criticize anything Ayu does. :D Not too healthy but nor is it healthy to get depressed over what some distant celebrity does.

EDIT: Hell, 2/3 of the text is just irrelevant chatting. :doh:

I've been an Ayu fan since 2001 (around the time Dearest was released and my first PV was Acoustic Piano Version of it), so I guess it's kind of hard to explain to a newer fan how an old one feels and vice versa. I wonder how older fans felt when she started composing, as some of her best numbers are composed under by herself under penname CREA, like "Endless sorrow", "M" and "still alone". But I remember that "Real me" was a shock, as she used pretty wacky Engrish in the lyrics and danced for the first time in the promotional video. However, she didn't promote the song on the TV and performed "Heartplace" instead, so it could be that she was forced to release that PV. I'm not saying her music is getting worse with years, but she has already wrote her best songs, and I don't think she'll ever surpass the success she had with "SEASONS" and "evolution". It would help if she'd work with Dai Nagao more, "Will" was amazing.
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: Wuffer on May 27, 2006, 02:43:48 PM
I'm not really surprised she didn't perform Real me since it wasn't on any single. Neither was Heartplace, though... xD Maybe she wasn't confident enough with the dance?
Why would she have been forced to release a PV for Real me? O_o

[random]In the fantasy books of R.A. Salvatore he says dwarfs can only make one masterpiece during their life... xD[/random]

In the Dome Tour 2001 Ayu said she writes about freedom and love. Maybe at the time she was lacking both of them and had bigger motivation to write than now when I think she has both freedom and love plus she has achieved so much by now.

Will was good but it never stroke me like HEAVEN did. HEAVEN is so beautiful and emotional, the way she sings it... :heart:

Also, there's a speculation that some person is collecting/selling information that Ayu's mother gave her advice to get some mental help after her break-up with Nagase and sudden rise of new artists like Koda & Otsuka. avex officials said they're gonna catch that *criminal* who's spreading *false information*, but you know that rumors are always based on little something, even if 99,9% of it is not true (I got this through an auto-translated article too, so take it all with grain of salt).

Also, Ayu's never been a happy person, from her childhood till she was like 25 or so, you could tell that just by listening to her first 3 albums, without reading masa123's interview translations and analyses (http://homepage2.nifty.com/morimasa/e-ayu.html) even. To be honest, I think that people write their best works when they're not happy, as when you're happy you don't think about meaning of life and the like, and Ayu kinda proves that since her best songs are all sorrowful. But unlike dwarfs from fantasy books, she actually wrote a few songs that won't be forgotten in a while, like "A Song for XX" and "teddy bear", they're what I'd call a masterpieces without a doubt. "Memorial adress" would be among them if the music wasn't used for a soundtrack before Ayu's got her little hands on it lol

Bad news for die-hard fans, as they's gonna be 3 versions of "BLUE BIRD" single:

~AVCD-31051B CD+DVD 2 PVs + making of BLUE BIRD
~AVCD-31052B CD+DVD 2 PVs + making of Beautiful Fighters
~AVCD-31053 CD only

All 3 have different covers. avex sure knows how to make money off poor fans. And of course the PVs will end up on new album... probably the making ofs too, in some way, like as they did with "photo gallery" on (miss)understood singles & "real" making ofs on the album.

Guess I have nothing reasonable to say since I havent written here... xD

Quote from: aedon

(miss)understood's lyrics actually made the biggest impression, of the newer songs. Some songs maybe sound a little... depressed? xD They're not happy but I wouldn't say they're sad either.

EDIT: Oh, and what I meant with the dwarf thing was - probably - that if Ayu already has written some materpieces (of course she has more than one :D) she can't write so good songs anymore? At least I hope she would be able to write a song that would be called a masterpiece once more.

It's really insane to have three releases of one single... >_< I wanted to order the CD+DVD release, now I don't know whether to order or not.

Somewhere I read that pic above would be for the A jacket. :drool:
I wonder how the rest of them are. I guessed if she would be dressed as a blue bird.... Well, at least she is dressed in blue... xD

The new pics from Popteen are great. :heart: That's one beautiful woman. O_o
I was really happy the other day when my friend saw a pic of Ayu and said she doesn't believe Ayu has had any surgery. :D
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: aedon on June 03, 2006, 08:28:34 PM
I think I got what you meant, I guess I just didn't like the comparison itself o.O; I'd say Ayu might've written herself out, exhausted her inspiration or something, instead of comparing her with little ugly mythological creature lol And in fact, I think "HEAVEN" could be called a masterpiece... maybe. It wasn't the Japanese "My heart will go on" as they claimed it to be before it was released, but it was really nice and it had an unusual verse structure.

And avex is getting trickier with their ways to make fans buy multiple copies. I only have 4 Ayu items in total, but it pisses me off that I'd have to buy "A complete clip box" AND "Memorial address" if I wanted complete PV collection... oh, and "(miss)understood" too :/

btw, what is everyone's favorite concert of Ayumi? I only watched 3 so far: limited Team Ayu FC (dled), Dome 2001 & Arena 2003~2004 (bought). I feel a little ashamed to admit it, but I liked the last one a lot more than the Dome which is supposedly her best (at least my one friend says that lol). And I also regret about not getting more low-priced DVDs, I hope avex will release more for Xmas =.=

But the RAINBOW cover had this elegant style, and this kinda looks sluty. I don't mean to complain, though, just wanted to point out that she recently reminds me more and more of Koda.

Koda is the hottest thing in Japan right now, sure Ayu doesn't want to loose to her, even if that means changing her own style... a few times when I've checked avex' site she was leading the website access list, so Ayu must be furious :/ Also, in her 2004 interview she cried and said "my time is over", it was sooooo sad T_T

I can't remember when I become Ayu-fan, but I have listened to Ayumi as long as I have been listening to J-pop. So Ayumi was my first j-pop artist (whit Utada and BoA(Korean, I know:) ) and now I have all her albums except her first one. I hate how hard it's to get albums in here:evil:  I had to order (miss)understood in Japan!

They said Ayumi is Britney of Japan! What the hell! I can't understand why everyone keep comparing Ayu to Britney! It makes me really angry:-x

Post by: Asmodai on July 07, 2006, 09:02:34 AM
Yeah, especially considering that they aren't even remotely similar. Ayu has a lot more in common with Madonna than Britney. (And they're not that close either...)
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: aedon on July 07, 2006, 09:47:18 AM
Yeah, Ayu debuted before Britney and Britney should be called "Ayumi of USA" *roffle* But seriously, those journalists always get on my nerves, they never write anything trustworthy and just use those eye-catching headlines >_< What did they write about U-"I'm a dork & underdog in America"-Teh-Da (no offence, I do like Hikki and all, but I get really furious when they praise her while putting down Ayu).

The interview where she cried? I got it from Jpopsuki, and the torrent is still alive: http://mullemeck.serveftp.org/jps_beta/index.php?page=details&id=20731
It's pretty in depth interview, but unfortunetely the subtitles are not complete and translated from Chinese subtitles... but you can still understand important things. It's worth watching very much. I could cut out just the part of her crying (totemo kawaiiiii~), because I don't have enough bandwidth to upload whole 600mb video >_>;

She's mad cute T_T She says something like:
After this interview, I always thought it was all unmeaningful so I called you at once and said "May you interview me again?" Last year, I gained the Record reward for three years in a row but I am so calm and said smiling - my age has passed.

P.S.:This is my 666th post. Dedicating it to the Queen of J-Pop who made me love it so much ~ Hamasaki Ayumi.

A new Ayu single? Didnt Blue Bird/Beautiful Fighters just come out? Well its 2 months from now so it'd make sense. Ah anyways hopefully ittle sound like moments.(Doubt it but I can hope) *chu to HAMAYU the girl that got me into Japanese popular music.
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: aedon on August 02, 2006, 07:32:40 PM
That's almost 3 months actually, BLUE BIRD was released on June 21st. GAWD I CANNOT WAIT FOR NEW AYU /fangirl mode off I guess it's gonna be another ballad like CAROLS and HEAVEN, and even if I still love these songs, releasing a ballad every autumn is so boring :yawn:
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: Susu123 on August 02, 2006, 07:43:29 PM
Aa...still too soon. Beautiful Fighters was okay but Blue Bird!! AHAHAH. I havent liked a Hamasaki Ayumi single since... Moments? But I did like her miss-understood album(LADIES NIGHT~ CHUU). But I have high hopes that this will be her best since Moments.(Kanariya is my favorite Ayumi single though)
HAH Im random.
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: aedon on August 02, 2006, 08:03:26 PM
Beautiful Fighters is one of the worst Ayu songs, imho. I despise is with passion and skip it on my single, but I must admit it grows on me little by little i.e. I can forget that I'm listening to it and not skip XD

I think Moments is the only track I really love on MY STORY... I sort of regret getting it, but I guess the making of Moments alone is worth the price ^_^

As for my absolute favorite single, I can't choose. The remixes never impressed me, and I only bought 2 singles so far, Endless sorrow for the original mix and cover, and BLUE BIRD for the poster <3

My favorite Ayu song is probably SCAR as I listen to it the most. But I also like a lot more and probably listed them in this thread before x_o

Triple A-side is a summer thing. They won't break the tradition. I'd think they'll just put the unused track as the b-side to the new single.

This question would fit in Ayu's thread in J-Music (http://forum.jphip.com/showthread.php?t=556) more than this thread (it's a pic thread, after all) :)

But imho, she has improved a lot in her live performances, like she sounded amazing in Arena Tour 2003-2004 (but she lip-synched a few songs in that one). I've got yet to watch her latest tours (2005 & 2006) though.
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: aedon on August 03, 2006, 08:39:54 PM
I've watched my Arena Tour 2002 dvd today, and I must admit my friends were right describing it as the worst Arena concert :/ BUT the extras saved it! I was about to go all "gimme my 2,800 yen back" after encore but then I was blown away by unplugged lives, offshots and Daybreak extra live XD So I even ripped those special unplugged versions:

M (Special Unplugged Version) (http://www.filepulse.org/files/140/aedon/Hamasaki%20Ayumi%20-%20M%20%28Special%20Unplugged%20Version%29.mp3)
Dearest (Special Unplugged Version) (http://www.filepulse.org/files/140/aedon/Hamasaki%20Ayumi%20-%20Dearest%20%28Special%20Unplugged%20Version%29.mp3)

Post by: MyDearYossi on August 06, 2006, 09:29:39 AM
I have maybe 4 consert DVD and I agree with you. Some songs are almost better live than on CD. Like Bold&Delicious. It sound so good in Countdown Live 2005-2006:heart:
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: aedon on August 06, 2006, 12:40:45 PM
I hate hate hate B&D! That song should've never ever been released, not by Ayu, at least >_<

And none of my concerts is a countdown, unless you count Arena 2003-2004... not sure why I've decided to collect Arena over CDLs :o
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: MyDearYossi on August 15, 2006, 11:19:35 AM
Seems like you really hate B&D:D
By the way, what is your favorite life performance by Ayu?
I like Happy Ending(from Arena Tour 2005, which is maybe the best consert. Altough I haven't seen most of her conserts) and Endless Sorrow(CDL 2005-2006). And of course SURREAL, Trauma and Boys&Girls are always goodXD

Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: aedon on August 16, 2006, 08:20:14 AM
I love LOVE teddy bear + Memorial address from Arena Tour 2003-2004! Always makes me cry or teary-eyed T_T Also love Because of You perf from the same concert. Overall, I guess Arena 03-04 is my favorite concert, the middle of it at least... love the "immature" perf from Concert Tour 2000 Pt.1 too.

Dome Tour 2001 was my first concert but I didn't like it all that much, especially when I imagined watching it from the worst seats and see a dot instead of Ayu x_o I really liked the Duty perf though, with the orchestra and all.

I watched Arena Tour 2003-2004 last night and I had forget how good teddy bear and Memorial address were. So, I must say that I love those too:heart:  I love how she can't sing a few words because she's almost crying. It's so beautiful:heart:  I hope she would sing Memorial address more often on her concerts. It's one of the best Ayu songs:inlove:

Post by: MyDearYossi on August 17, 2006, 10:49:31 AM

Oh I forgot still alone, I'd love to hear it live, and preferrebly the takano yuri CM rock version! Yeah, my dream concert would be an acoustic howling session XD

Ayu performed M quite a lot o_O My favorite perf is of course the special unplugged version that I've posted here, but Dome Tour's live was good too (oh,  that dress lol).

I really hope avex will release A museum's low-priced edition asap, like, around this year's Xmas :3

This question would fit in Ayu's thread in J-Music (http://forum.jphip.com/showthread.php?t=556) more than this thread (it's a pic thread, after all) :)

But imho, she has improved a lot in her live performances, like she sounded amazing in Arena Tour 2003-2004 (but she lip-synched a few songs in that one). I've got yet to watch her latest tours (2005 & 2006) though.


Lipsynched? Whatchu talkin' about? D: XD

Well, it wasn't exactly bleeding..

Think like.. when you have really red eyes. I think it was painless, but it's like.. do you want to go to a press conference with terrible eyes?

Instead of just ditching it, Ayu went.. just with sunglasses <3

It could be:
a) swollen eyelid (aka what happens often)
b) black eye (aka a bruise, oMg WhO BeAt AyU uP?!)
c) red eyes (like DB said)
d) bleeding (aka the most unlikely reason that teth mentioned)
e) ???
But gossip is b-a-a-a-d, so let's talk about the upcoming single :P

Hey..

Thanks for the good words ;)

The pictures are only tagged if you hotlink them. You can just imagine all the bandwidth my gallery takes each month.. This month I'm topping 30 GB of transferred data.
So, I prefer when ppl just post a link to the html-page WITH the image, then it is untagged and more sizes are available too (usually).

That's weird because I never hotlink pics, and I'd get every photo tagged when opening it on your site o_O;

Then you don't have enabled "refereer logging"..  My webserver sees your connection to my server/page as coming from another server/page, and treats you as a hotlinking person..

So, try another browser, or turn on refereer logging :) And all the tagging will disappear.. :)

Ayupans stopped frowning quite long time ago :O I wasn't sure when exactly, so I checked at eneabba.net (http://www.eneabba.net/ayu/ayupan/index.htm), and it seems the first non-fanmade/photoshopped smiling Ayupan appeared in like 2003 (for the & single)... Did I mention I hate Ayupans? XD It's like the worst way to milk fans imo, since they are (or were) sold in non-transparent packs so you'd have to buy A LOT or trade to collect them all.

Oh, and YAY JEWEL ON MS! ^________^

And I hate Born To Be and Beautiful Fighters, and Startin' is pretty bad too, so that makes me hate like half of the album already o_O; And I bought BLUE BIRD single too, damn... it'll have to have a really really really beautiful cover AND a poster to make me buy it XD JEWEL sounds like an amazing song from the CM preview though.

Honestly, I wish she would make another album like LOVEppears... I think that was probably her BEST album to date, just because it had such a flow, and all of the songs were standout, in my opinion. I am... was a pretty solid album, too, but after that, it just seemed like she had more and more filler songs in her albums XD

I love Ayu to death and will ALWAYS support her no matter what, but I'm not so sure about this new mini-album. Especially since there will only be 3 *new* songs...  aedon is right, avex sure does know how to drain your money!

Beautiful Fighters is one of the worst Ayu songs EVAR, imho. So is Born To Be. And Bold & Delicious. YUCK! Must be the B curse lol (but I love Because of You, Boys & Girls and BLUE BIRD XD).

Duty and I am... are Ayumi's best albums hands down, they both have album tracks that I consider my ultimate favorites (SCAR, teddy bear, I am..., still alone). They were released at the peak of her career too :/

Sigh, I miss oldschool Ayu.

Me, too... :ksad:

And I am... is definitely one of THE best Ayu songs. I don't know, I just feel like she sang with so much more emotion back then... Nowadays it just seems she is doing it because it's her career and not because she truly LOVES it anymore. You can tell the difference in everything- song quality, emotion, etc. - although I must say her actual *singing* on a level of skill/quality has improved a lot over the years :heart:

I also have to say I really like the rock side she explored on (miss) understood (kind of like what she was doing on Duty, too^^) I think she absolutely killed on the title track and on criminal, both of which are my favourite songs on that entire album :heart:

RAINBOW has Free & Easy and Dolls, so I can't say I hate it, but the Engrish was sooo out of place! Oh, and how can I forget the title track that is not even on the album, I absolutely <3 RAINBOW the song.

I don't know, I can't make myself to listen to Bold & Delicious again. It's just not the Ayu I love(d) T_T

At least we both like Mikki XD

It's been a standard for an album. This is her 2nd mini-album, so I'd assume they'd make it in the format of Memorial address, 7 songs=7 PVs, plus maybe some concert digest and bonus track >_>; Of course, they might feel generous out of nowhere and include more extras, but no making of's would increase the sales of BLUE BIRD cd+dvd versions as well (not sure if it worked with my name's WOMEN pv though, like I have no idea if people actually bought more STEP you/is this LOVE? singles because it wasn't included on (miss)understood dvd lol).
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: DroolBoy on October 13, 2006, 09:20:37 AM
Making ofs didn't even really exist during Memorial address.
I have a feeling that they weren't filmed so, they weren't included.

But now since the CD+DVD format is on every single, and most if not all singles have had making ofs in the past, I'd say its safe to assume that they will put something like that on there..

She gained weight, yeah.

But I think she'll eventually lose it again after another concert LOL
All the vacationing in the US post-Arena Tour 2006 probably made her gain a tiny bit of weight :p

I love the song, I love her 2002 hair, I love Ayu T_T She should stop trying to be all cool and sexy and just release good music.

And stop talking about her weight, there're even rumors that she's pregnant now, friggin gossipers :O Which could be true, someday lol

And here's translation of "JEWEL" by evolusean @ AHS (big thanks!):

JEWEL (Music Station version)

Again today, all of my desires
Bury everything under the square, gray sky.
The reason I can face foward
And walk among them without losing sight of the light
Is that you always tell me *(1)
That in some corner of this city
There are still things left that aren't smudged. *(2)

I held my breath as I watched you
Fall asleep completely exhausted.
I am the only one in the whole world
Who knows this vulnerably precious profile.

One normal day, with sunlight pouring in
And the gentle wind swaying,
I felt on my own that something was certainly changing,
Softly, but strongly, inside of me.

I wasn't sad at all, but the reason I brimmed with tears
Was that you had seeped through the scar in my heart
And turned it in to such a tenderness *(3)
That it hurt to think of you.

If you should happen to come across a deep sadness,
I wish that you would share it with me.
I think I could do anything for your smile,
My precious treasure.
My precious treasure.


* NOTES:
1. 教えてくれるから literally means "because you taught me", but "to teach" has a very academic feel in English, whereas here it has the feel of "because you advised me [against thinking that everything was dirty]"

2. 汚れのないもの means "things that have no smudge/stain/dirt/grime/impurities". "Stain" is the most poetic of them all, but English "stain" means more of a discoloration (that can still be clean), whereas 汚れ is probably best related to a stain caused by dirt and grime. I chose to say "things that aren't smudged", because it was still somewhat poetic, without sounding as condescending and contemptuous as "dirty, filthy things".

3. This line tries to express that the scar prevented her from feeling tenderness before. Her heart was scarred and damaged, and he changed that damage in to the ability to care and feel tenderness for someone. I said "tenderness" because using the more suitable "caring" as a noun is awkward and hard to catch in English.

Thanks for linking me, DB XD

That's not her fault. She just doesn't have the arrangers at the time available, and DAI doesn't compose as much..
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi
Post by: aedon on October 23, 2006, 09:35:06 AM
Wasn't Ayu saying in all the interviews that she's finally making music that she wants/likes herself? :rolleyes: I assume she could've make DAI compose all the music for her, she probably just doesn't want to. Last time she worked with him (as CREA+DAI) was at Will, iirc, and it's probably my favorite song of 2005... it's like she's finally acting the diva that people accused her of being and making the music that fits that image :/ I hope she gets tired of it soon.

Edit: i got pwned.
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi

ACTUALLY.

Last song she worked with him was BLUE BIRD! :D

He composed and H/\L arranged the song. <3 And the reason DAI stopped was because he was being forced to work with people like Ayu.. so he stopped doing it so much. But he still does it occasionally. [i.e Will and BLUE BIRD.]

Will now go on sale 29 November, as my eighth full album.

This means that even more excellent songs will be born!!
I wanted to make sure to reach eeeeeeach and every one of you kids,
So I've got them rushing around to change things to a 14-track pattern. Nyahaha.
(Of course, on the DVD there will be 7 music videos and their 7 respective making-of videos!
Keep it up, KAZ!)

But the fact is... there are still songs left to be recorded! (Heh heh heh)
It's still in the making, but until the day that "Secret" is complete,
I will be doing my best, all the while picturing everyone's most certainly happy faces
And applauding myself!! (BOOM!)

To everyone on my staff:
We're still in for more all-nighters...

To everyone I love:
I'm sorry that the news has gotten so complicated. But-but hold on just a biiiiit more!

I'm still thinking it's going to be another mediocre album like (miss)understood.

Well, I imagine that if you listen to it thinking that way..

It will probably come out that way. :p
I think you should just listen to it neutrally, sort of just like ":B Ayu songs."~
And then formulate an opinion of mediocrity <3

First pictures of Ayumi Hamasaki’s 1LOVE PV. Filmed during the 26th and 27th in Kaihin-Makuhari, Japan, the PV set shows a dark themed set for the rockish song 1LOVE, so far only seen in Panasonic advertisements. The full PV will not be released until November’s last week, around the time SECRET will be released. Story for the promotional video... (highlight) < talks about an underground meeting to put human items on auction. Dance includes pole-dancing and many close-up shots.>

Her official 'hot' fashion-y interview + photos issue will probably come in November or December :)

Actually, I'm kind of glad they went with a very simple font, the cover overall still looks very good. I think it would have been a wee bit too much if they decided to use big, super swirly, artistic font or anything XD

Thanks to the lovely evolusean at AHS <3
Quote from: evolusean;950192
Okay, here are the first 5 tracks.  I will try to keep up with each song as the interview gets updated, and then I'll get to the big introductory blurb at the top.  I think we'd rather hear all the song-specific info first, anway.



01. Not yet
words: ayumi hamasaki
music & arrangement: CMJK

Pretty much the album opening!  I guess it's a flat-out question.  I've encrusted the entire album with secrets... secrets of people... secrets which have various meanings of various assortments.

And also, the miracle leading up to here.  The term "miracle" is close to my heart...  Finishing this album -- that has been a miracle = my heart.  I didn't make this miracle happen, but I feel like it has happened because of various people other myself = the staff involved and everyone else related.  Those 2 have been the base of this album.  This opening song is really a question to everyone listening to these "secrets" and "miracles", asking if they will find them in the album.




02. until that Day...
words: ayumi hamasaki
music & arrangement: CMJK

ayu: This was originally a song made by CMJK to be used as an instrumental.  It was really short, but I really loved the feel of the guitar and the B-melody, so told him I'd love it if he could make it a full-length song.  Ever since I first heard the song, I had in mind what I wanted to write about.  The lyrics I wanted to express were in my head, so I was just waiting for CMJK's song.  So I waited, but once it came, it was so hard to fit the words to it! (wry laugh)

mister kaz: It's rattled off pretty fast, huh?

ayu: Yeah.  It was so hard to make the words hit right on the notes.  I had something I wanted to say, but fitting the words to the notes, as well as having to always cut at a good spot for breaths, it was difficult.  I made a kind of word puzzle at home.

mister kaz: Like... you wrote down and combined synonyms with the same meaning as those of the words you wanted to express?

ayu: Yeah! On pieces of paper, I would put down words I wanted to write, as well as synonyms for those words.  Then, I'd line up the papers, and combine them as I changed around the order.  I made this song very differently from the way I usually write.

mister kaz: Like "This won't work because it has 5 characters..."?

Ayu: Right, right!  Like, saying "tanoshii" as 3 sounds = how would it be if I said a different 3 character word?  So at first it was a lot of trial-and-error, but this time it got to be so that I just had to express what I wanted to express.  It's most important to say what you want to say, but it's really hard to stick to that and still make the word-count match up.

mister kaz: And the tempo is pretty fast, too!

ayu: I hadn't had such a fast song that really kept more or less the same sound.  In the world of lyrics, I really try to be positive, but when I heard the impressions of my staff, there were some who got really heartbroken or sad and cried!




03. Startin'
words: ayumi hamasaki
music: Kazuhiro Hara
arrangement: CMJK

ayu: We did the recording for this song in New York, but the sound in the studio was so good it was so easy to sing.  There are a lot of people who have an image of "Startin'" being from dancing with the dancers during a tour or a-nation, but it was originally made to be a band-only song.  I've done rock songs like "GAME" or "is this LOVE?", but this is the first time I've challenged myself with a vocal style like "Startin'"!  While I was singing, I felt "You can sing like this too".  What really brought out that new vocal style was doing the recording in the New York studio with such good sound and nice atmosphere.

mister kaz: The PV, too, has a strong, new CG feel like never before, doesn't it?

ayu: Yeah it does.  I've known Director Ishii (Ishii-chan), who did "Startin'", since around high school, but even though I knew he was a director, we had never worked together.  I was a little at odds as to how he would go about it (wry laugh).  And even after knowing eachother so well from long ago, because it's work, you can't just go with it the way you normally would.

mister kaz: And like, your relationship in that case is that of artist-director!

ayu: Right.  So that made it kind of... too... humble?  So I guess it was a little awkward; it felt like a relative had come to work.

mister kaz: What sort of person is Director Ishii to you?

ayu: He gets it without me having to say it.  So it was really easy to do, and I have confidence that we were able to make something really good.  It was almost entirely CG, so there was a lot of performing in front of a green screen (to combine the images), but I felt like because it was Ishii-chan, we could do it!  Because he believes in it, we could do it!




04. 1 LOVE
words: ayumi hamasaki
music: Yoji Noi
arrangement: HΛL

ayu: This is another new vocal style.  I don't think I've had such strong vocals until now, like yelling...  I didn't make a conscious effort to, but the music (=melody) and words pulled that kind of vocal style out of me.  I made the new discovery that I had that in me.  The lyrics are really driving, edgy, and really powerful.  But I think that up close it's got a subtle heartbroken sadness to it.

mister kaz: The rock arrangement for the song was HAL, but it was a surprising!  Also that Mr. Sunaga did the PV direction...  Kind of like your inner Mr. Sunaga imagined making something that had a bright and fun side to it, like "Greatful days", but also a surreal side.

ayu: Yeah, maybe.  You felt surprised??  I had a feeling that Mr. Sunaga would come up with something, so I asked for something extraordinary.  Then, after we finished, it turned out to be a really awesome PV!  But!  The pole dancing hurt (tear).  The next day I was covered in bruises! (laugh)

mister kaz: Really??  You seemed totally fine during the filming!

ayu: When I was actually doing it, I was, but during the filming I was fine because I was concentrating on something.  I didn't feel the pain...  But the next day it hurt (laugh)!  Oh man, it was so hard to get out of bed.  I'd try to get up, but my neck and back hurt, and I couldn't move my body at all (laugh).  Even at the time, I had never really done so much tossing of my head and bending of my body.

mister kaz: What hurt the most?  Your neck or your back?

ayu: No, it was the palm of my right hand, which was holding on to the pole!  From the morning of the filming to the next morning, I was holding the pole only with my right hand to support my body... oh, it got bright red!  I reconsidered how amazing pole dancers are!




05. It was
words: ayumi hamasaki
music: Naruya Ihashi
arrangement: tasuku

ayu: This was one of the songs we had gathered up for the (miss)understood album.  I didn't use it then, but of course I really liked it and had tasuku arrange it.  I felt like I wanted the lyrics to not end very clearly, or like I wanted to make lyrics which ended on a confused note.  There were lots of different ones, but now I feel like... no, we went through several before getting out a (rough) ending, but it seems like it's still confused.  Sometimes people people drag around certain times and mistakes, and sometimes there are things that people regret, aren't there?  I wanted to write of a world that seemed to smell of real people.  Everyone's got to have those kind of feelings, so I felt I wanted to share that emotion.

mister kaz: In a sense... life is a string of regrets, but people have to go on living.  By the way, this song has a similar, but different ending from "Over".  

ayu: That would be because it properly "puts and end" to it.

mister kaz: But as far as life is concerned, there is more confusion and regret like in "It was", rather than as in "Over".

ayu: But it's not always going to be pretty, and you can't always just suck it up, can you?  There are more times when, no matter how bad it looks, no matter how pitiful it is, you have to go on with your life.  But "It was" isn't just about regret, but it has a "do your best to be positive" side to it!  As far as life is concerned, rather than worrying whether to regret or not to regret, or worrying about being cool or uncool, I think it's more important to try to be positive!


Doesn't it sound AMAZING?!?@!@!#

Can you move the graphics babble in Ayu's pic thread (http://forum.jphip.com/showthread.php?t=2674)? It's a bit inconvenient imho >_>;

On the other hand, JEWEL is a very pretty pv but it's too sparkly and lacks a climax, like I expected Ayu to break/throw away the blingblings in the end a-la J.Lo rofl Also, her face seems heavily blurred in close-ups, and that makes me sad because I hope she won't become a burikko (http://www.japan-zone.com/modern/matsuda_seiko.shtml) :/
Title: Re: (Artist) Hamasaki Ayumi

I think JEWEL PV has been done too quick. It could have been much better. It's like, half PV shows the idea I think was on the directors head (a Jewel land) while the other half with that ice cube (and the black blackground ugly thing) is too simple. Ayu <3

LOL Just finished that article... I really hope Ayu doesn't become like that, either! XD I'm not so sure that she will, though, because (at least to me), she's always carried a more mature air, compared to most other J-pop artists

Edit: This might be a little OT, but in the case of a burikko, I think Rina Aiuchi fits that mold more than Ayu does (much as I love her too! :P LOL)

What AYU wanted to tell everyone about her NEW album...

AYU's 14 Secrets

Ayu's long-awaited full album is being released!! 11/29; title: "Secret".
Yes, in this album are hidden lots of "secrets".

I wasn't sad at all, but the reason I brimmed with tears
Was that you had seeped through the scar in my heart
And turned it in to such a tenderness
That it hurt to think of you.
- from "JEWEL"

The season I had you was so much brighter than anything,
That everything reflecting in my eyes was full of light.
- from "It was"

I remember the day when we, so young,
Walked around, clinging to eachother with laughter,
Not knowing anything.
-from "momentum"

Hey, when the time should someday come,
That I blast away from this place,
I will surely wave to you with a satisfied grin.
- from "until that Day..."

Even now I am as ever
Always searching for a place to be.
There is nothing else I'd rather have.
- from "Secret"

Alone, I always searched for a reason.
Stressed, I always looked for an outlet.
- from "kiss o' kill"

Tonai no Ha Studio. Apparently singing until just 3 hours previous, AYU appeared with her hot-off-the-press audio device; I wondered if she had just taken a shower after coming home from working all night, with her slightly damp, just-washed hair, and no make-up. However, with sparkling eyes: "Right now, I think it is my best album ever".

She declared it quite happily.

Even until now, with every interview, I have heard the word "best" a few times before: "This is my best rock album!" "This had the best end result." But I feel by her tension this time a serious nuance in "the best".

Excited by AYU's words, I took a listen to the just-finished album "Secret" and... I get it!! And right there, she made a face full of pride... "I did it!"

The first thing on my mind was the album title. Provocatively called "Secret", will there be any of AYU's "secrets" inside?

"Of course there are parts of people that only they know. No matter how long you've been with a lover or a best friend, there have got to be parts that you don't know or thing they aren't showing you. But it's because of those parts that people are so fascinating; it's because of the mysterious parts that they are on our mind, right? With this album, I wanted it to feel straight-forward and open about that sort of "me that only I know" in a sort of story. I would be so glad if the listener can find a bunch of parts inside that make them go 'I think that's my secret'."

"Secret". Inside are, of course, what you could call girls' cheer-songs, which portray strong female figures like AYU, and, really outdoing herself, several songs stand out which make you feel human "weakness". In "Secret", for example, a song with the same title as the album, she can't help but feel sorrow even though she is a pop-star; the AYU-ish ballad "JEWEL" exudes of an AYU whose heart has been hurt by sad events in the world.

"In today's world, the news is entirely things you don't want to see. What I wanted to tell with 'JEWEL' was the story of a girl who became caring by being cared for. Busy days and overly surreal occurances... in times like these, I think we sometimes really forget about caring for people, about pure feelings, about naivety..., and about what we want as people. And myself, there are even times when I hurt people without realizing it. At times like that, when people other than myself tell me "NO"*, I am shown what I don't see on my own. I wanted to talk about that kind of 'love'."

AYU paints many pictures of the word "love"... The way she wishes it herself, with each song having its own story, the listeners own affairs and feelings may unknowingly overlap. Simply put, that is the reason why AYU's view of the world continues to mesmerize girls.

"This album was at first meant to be a mini-album, but we quickly changed it to a full album. One day I was just gushing with things to say in my head, and I felt like I just had to express them in song, so I wrote up 3 songs* in one day, and then 2 more songs in another at a high pace."

Even at full-speed, having just painted what she wanted to express, the words come across clearly. Yes, the words AYU sings, particularly in the ballads, are vital in the heartbreaking winter. Furthermore, even in the AYU-ly bold song's lyrics, the source of girls' cheer, this album goes full throttle with AYU-power.

"The song '1 LOVE' is the story of an outlaw girl. While on the one hand, she loves and is loved, she thinks she understands all people. She makes choices on her own, and she thinks you can't live life without fighting. Me? I'm fighting really hard as always!! (laugh) But not just for myself, so I think I could go on fighting this much. But you get war-buddies, and then the battle's over and you go home, and you've done it."

Also is "until that Day...", the 2nd track on the album. In this song, which means "sono hi made [until that day]", You can't help but feel the aesthetic that makes you go crazy for her all over again, thinking "AYU is such a babe!". Yes, the AYU who struggles through life as well as her ideal, beautiful self after the fight is over are both portrayed here.

"This is, frankly, a song which portrays my way of life."

She says it so lightly. And both sides of AYU from the songs which portray weakness are the secrets she showed me with "Secret".

"Yes, there are going to be days when people have to be strong, and naturally there are also going to be days when you think you can't be strong. I think when they look at themselves on those different days, they feel like they'll stick it out for a year, and then one more. There are lots of different girls for different days on "Secret", and I want to share that with everyone!"

AYU's best album ever, "Secret", to all the girls whom AYU calls "partner"... This album will trail on shining through 2007.

Interview: Himiko Nabeshima

Your small back tells me so,
Having made it through the night
Secretly clinging to your knees
And crying
- from "Born To Be..."

If you've decided to have faith, accept even the answers
That are different from your ideals.
- from "Startin'"

I feel like glass slippers would be too tight,
And not quite cut out for tearing through
This day and age.
- from "Beautiful Fighters"

If you're gonna stab at my nature to always somehow stick out in line,
Feel free to do as you like with your sharp words.
I can't copy what's been done before.
- from "1 LOVE"

Yeah, I just saw that XD LOL Sorry, having one of my blonde moments! LOL But wasn't it supposed to be a mini...? *confused* Oh well^^

Anyway, just listened to the previews (thanks, DB! :heart:) and I love all of the songs so far! Ayu's voice is so strong, especially in the first few songs... "momentum" reminds me almost of "Free & Easy" and "M" in its sound (both of which are songs I adore~ Classic Ayu!) and I absolutely *LOVE* the rocking feel of "until that Day..."! :heart:

Imo, it seems like SECRET has Ayu going back to what she does best~ she experimented a lot with the rock sound on (miss)understood, but this album seems like it's going back to I am... (one of her standout albums, again imo^^ LOL) and maybe even Rainbow (although Rainbow wasn't one of my faves XD). All in all, this is a must-buy for every Ayu fan! :heart: Lots of classic sounds and new ones to enjoy!

WELL!! In "Wu-Tang CLan AKA" spirit, what shall we name this forum?

Ayabie suggested "AYU" ...so any suggestions?

And if you have an Ayumi Hamasaki site and would like to be affiliated? linked? HOLLER AT YA BOY!

I've been wondering this for a while now~ Why did avex stop releasing ayu-mi-x's? I really used to love looking forward to a remix album after one of her regular albums was released! XD RAINBOW is the last album I know of that had an accompanying ayu-mi-x~ Does anyone know why they didn't do one for either MY STORY or (miss)understood?

It would be really cool to see one for SECRET now :heart: A momentum remix would be love!

She stopped releasing them probably because of the costs of making a remix album and the fact that her RMX WORKS series didn't sell too much...

Even though that series did sell more than people's usual remix albums..

Post by: chocolate on December 08, 2006, 02:15:26 PM
It was so cute when she spoke english :kwink:  It was a nice interview but at the end she said in english she wants to keep her private future secret. So, no secrets revealed. She talked about a new album and how her friends reacted to her fame and what is it being Ayumi Hamasaki all the time.
She said she is so happy working and making music she doesn't need holidays. So she'll be making more music for us. :)

I remember the RMX WORKS thing not being the greatest, and while I understand the costs of making the remix albums, why doesn't avex just put the remixes back on the singles, like they used to? I remember when Ayu singles were jam-packed with like 10-12 songs, the title track followed by remixes of both the title track and some of her other songs that came out around the same time. Those singles were awesome! :heart: Lately, we're lucky if we get even *one* remix (see BLUE BIRD Harderground Remix) XD

Edit: The Duty era had the *BEST* remixes, followed by I am... And the sad thing is that I could *TOTALLY* see SECRET being remixed right up there with those, even though it'll probably never have a chance! XD

Ayu is back in Japan. Am I the only one who thinks she really looks sad there? The media-mass were asking her about her health-problems.

^ Ayu is really, really tiny! 5'1" and somewhere around 80 lbs...I don't think I've ever seen anyone in their late twenties at under 100 lbs.

Wow. That's smaller than I imagined too. I'm a foot-taller and well over double her mass. :o

The HK thing is cute.

Ayumi Hamasaki's first drama theme in 6 years

Tue, June 30, 2009 (3:54am EDT)

The next single from pop star Ayumi Hamasaki, titled "Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~," will be the theme song for the TV Asahi drama series "Dandy Daddy?" Hamasaki has not done a drama theme song since "forgiveness" was used in TBS's "Kougen e Irasshai" in 2003. Starring Hiroshi Tachi and Nao Minamisawa in a father-daughter comedy, "Dandy Daddy?" is scheduled to premiere on July 9.

Hamasaki's "Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~" will be released as a double A-side single called "Sunrise / Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~" on August 12. Included on the single is a "Special Mega-Mash-Up-Mix" that combines the singer's past summer hits "July 1st," "Greatful days," "fairyland," "BLUE BIRD," and "glitter." In addition to the regular CD single, a CD+DVD edition will be available that includes music videos for the two title tracks and a making-of video for "Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~."

Ayumi represents Rimmel in Asia

Tue, July 28, 2009 (3:59am EDT)

Pop star Ayumi Hamasaki (30) has been chosen to represent popular London-based cosmetics brand Rimmel, joining Kate Moss, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and Lily Cole. Ayumi will be the brand's first "image character" in Asia. Founded in 1834, Rimmel's products are now readily available in 56 countries around the globe. By appointing Ayumi as the brand's newest face, Rimmel hopes that her beauty and popularity can help capture more of the Asian market. She is already a fashion leader in Japan and has served as a model for other major brands.

Starting in early August, the singer will begin appearing in advertisements throughout Asia. In particular, the initial ads will use Ayumi's attention-catching eyes to promote the eye color product "Sparkling Gradation Eyes," set to go on sale in Japan on August 7. "I've never been to England, so I'd like to use this an opportunity to go there," Ayumi said.

In some of these latest photoshoots, she just looks dead - or really doll-ish. What happened to her? =( She is still beautiful but too overly photoshopped and airbrushed, maybe it is time for her to get a rest.

^ She really needs to fire whoever's directing those shoots. Her face looks the same in the "Sweet" shoot and for the cover of her Sunset single, blank and lifeless. Perhaps it's the same person. Ugh.

Japanese Media Addresses Ayu's Voice

Kouhaku, which reached it's 60th broadcast, top batter of the night was the impressive Hamasaki Ayumi, but no one could believe the sound they heard from her voice. She had just finished apologizing for the performance the other day where her voice didn't come out, but her singing voice this day, as an artist was also a "..." kind of feeling.

It seemed that this top batter was forcing her voice out of her, and if we say it directly, it was hard to listen to. However, if she doesnt use this voice, would her voice be able to come out?

From before, people have been saying that "her voice won't come out" or "that singing voice is so awful," to the point where even her fans have been saying "I didn't even think her voice went this far" after her voice didn't come out on live broadcast.

They put her in a time slot where ratings don't matter, which made us think that the era of Hamasaki Ayumi is finally and truly over. The only saving grace was that EXILE performed right after her. The fact that these famous singers were partners and did not abandon her was the only appealing factor.

However, if we listen just to this day's voice, there was already no trace of the Singing Queen of the past.

What in the world has happened to Hamasaki Ayumi? From the succession of programs where her voice doesn't even come out, to the outrage from her fans online, Hamasaki Ayumi looked back, and apologized and confessed on her blog that this has truly been her worst as a singer.

The circumstances on the Music Festival, in which Hamasaki Ayumi sang the huge hit "Evolution," were a little different than the high pitched and strong voice that had mesmerized audiences before. Her voice didn't come out, as she turned her back to the camera... and after, with an expression of a painful smile, she shouted "I'm sorry."

"I can't say any excuse. Anyways, it's very regrettable."

She wrote about the experience on her blog on the 16th, apologizing to fans, saying that "As a singer, in my opinion, it was my worst. I have no excuse, and I'm really sorry. My training isn't enough, and I really need to get serious." and, "I have to sing these songs, I have to transmit these songs. That is the meaning of my existence, and I want to continue working hard so I can have a stage where I can be at east and have fun."

But more, being told that "Ayu's voice won't come out" started MORE than a year ago.

On Yahoo's Q&A site, a huge shock has spread. A question asked recently was "When I see Ayu recently, it's so painful. What does everyone think?" "When I listen, I even get painful."

These were the answers that followed.

"When I listen, it's painful. It seemed like the chest would be hurt."
"It seems like, when it comes to her voice, and even her figure, she isn't making any efforts to improve it."
"I think she should go overseas and start from 0, with her voice training. If she doesn't..."

And these kinds of worried voices, but also strict opinions came together.

Checking the video site Youtube, we inspected the Boys & Girls performance at Music Fair 21 in 2009, comparing to the time Boys & Girls was put for sale, and we saw that half way through her singing style looked so painful, and of course, didn't come out. Half way though, the back chorus starting singing the main parts, which was an unexplainable development. Those who watched the show said "Her voice is dead, right?" "She could sing this in the past, but now, she can't even get her voice to come out." "It was a laugh when the main chorus started singing the main", with the remaining impressions stated in a similar fashion.

What in the world happened to Hamasaki Ayumi? Is it the influence of her ear problem? We asked this question to Avex Management, but we have yet to receive the reply.

Source: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97573 (http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97573)


So, what do you think? Ayu has received a lot of critics recently due of her voice in live performances...I think that she needs to take a break; she has been active for more than 10 years and she releases singles like crazy. They are good, of course and it prooves she is such a hard worker. However, if her health and her voice are straining, it can't be good to keep that rythym.

Ayu definitely needs a break. She, herself, needs to realize that she's not immortal and deserves a mini-hiatus or something. The poor thing.

I have very high expectations about the album (ignoring the fact that Sunrise/Sunset is the single I dislike the most of Ayumi's discography), it seems to be way much better than Next Level!!

Personally, my favorite (in visual terms) is Sexy Little Things because it's dynamic and it shows a more daring side of Ayumi; conceptually I love Don't Look Back, because it represents her past stages...and her wish to move on in the present aiming for a good future (thus destroying the cover of her album -representing the past and the stage she won't return-. I wish to know the lyrics before go to my own interpretation but that's what I see.

And now...Rock n' Roll Circus

I cannot fucking believe it: my love for Ayumi is totally back!!  :twothumbs
Welcome back, queen!! I was a bit skeptical after the super sucking single Sunrise/Sunset (sorry if you like it, but I prefer to ignore its existance), but these new tracks, the pvs and the entire concept caught me again...is not as awesome as My Story or (miss)understood but IMO is much, much better than Next Level and Guilty (and I love the latter)
Thanks Ayu for the hard work and bring back the sassiness that made me fall in love with you :bow: :inlove:

I can't believe no one posted about "Moon/Blossom" HA! Using the time tested cliche XD

forty-eighth (forty-ninth overall) single, to be released on July 14, 2010. The first song on the single "Moon" is used to promote Honda's Zest Spark Kei car while the second song "Blossom" is used to promote Zespri kiwifruit.

Ayumi Hamasaki to marry actor Manuel Schwarz

Fri, December 31, 2010 (3:09pm EST)

Singer Ayumi Hamasaki (32) has announced that she will soon get married. According to statements she made on her Twitter account and on her fan club website just after the start of the new year, she will be tying the knot with Austrian actor Manuel Schwarz (30).

Hamasaki met Schwarz in August of last year. At that time, Schwarz (who is also known as Mannie) played her husband in the music video for her song "Virgin Road." Then in October, he appeared in two more of her music videos, for the songs "Love Song" and "Last angel." Within those two months, the two became very close, frequently exchanging e-mails and phone calls.

On December 31, Hamasaki performed "Virgin Road" as the opening act of NHK's Kouhaku Uta Gassen, wearing a white wedding dress. After that, she headed to Yoyogi National Gymnasium for her own countdown concert. However, she decided to wait until after those performances before announcing the news of her marriage online.

Hamasaki's management has acknowledged her announcement. Although she does not have any upcoming work in her schedule at the moment, it is said that she does not plan on retiring. It is also reported that she is not pregnant.

AYU IS OFFICIALLY A MARRIED WOMAN!

Quote
(http://pics.livejournal.com/harukakamiya/pic/000pcxxw)

In her latest Team Ayu blog entry, Ayumi Hamasaki announced that she and her fiance Manuel Schwarz registered their marriage in a small American chapel. The translated entry is below, and the picture she included is above.

To my beloved TA,
2 January 2011. 3:10pm


On the 1st of January 2011,

we registered our marriage in a small chapel in America.

Because I want everyone in TA to know about this first, I'm writing this now.

I think everyone else knows about this already, but my husband is Mannie.

He is my Last angel.

From now on, I will still continue being the person I have always been.

That's why, I wish for everyone to continue being the same too.

Let's go on at the same speed, watching the same scenery.*

Ayu will NOT be living with her husband!

Quote
(http://pics.livejournal.com/murasaki_sky/pic/0005ss4c)

The couple flew to Los Angeles from Narita Airport on January 1st, and they transferred to Las Vegas.  After they registered their marriage on January 1st at 6:00 p.m. (local time), they held a wedding ceremony at a chapel in Las Vegas with Ayu’s close friends and her staff.  The couple attended the wedding in casual wear.

It’s been reported that Ayu and Manuel will not live together, and will keep going back and forth between Japan and the States.  Ayu told fans, “I will stay as how I have been“, and she will continue to work on her career as a singer.

I really need to come out of my bubble. I seriously didn't know Ayu had anything close to a boyfriend, and certainly not that she had just married. I really have a talent for missing out on things. Isn't that dude the guy from one of her latest MVs?

I'm kinda sad, LOL. Aw, Ayu, why did you break my heart like this!? </3 ... I kid kid. XD All the best to the married couple. :-)

Actually, the news of her marriage was really unexpected for a lot of fans - it came out of the blue almost. Many of us didn't even know she was close to any guy. And yeah, the guy was her co-star in her "Virgin Road" video.

Ayu tweets hits home, she's been really active:

自然を前に、私達人間はあまりにも無力だ。必死に拡散を願う私のリツイートなど、微力だ。あなたも自らを微力だと思うだろう。けれど、私の微力とあなたの微力とが合わさったなら、どうだろう。絶望に打ちひしがれ全てを諦めるのも、希望を胸に勇気を出して立ち上がるのも、私達次第だ。

roughly google translated:
Before the nature we are powerless human beings too. Retweet and I desperately hope to spread it mite. Mite would think themselves too. But if you 合Wasatta mite and the mite and I would do. Also give up all the despair, the courage to stand up too hope in my heart, it depends on us.

Yeah, despite being a little bit jealous, Ayu has brought huge amounts of happiness into the lives of others through her music. I want her to be happy too.

AYU IS OFFICIALLY A MARRIED WOMAN!

Quote
(http://pics.livejournal.com/harukakamiya/pic/000pcxxw)

In her latest Team Ayu blog entry, Ayumi Hamasaki announced that she and her fiance Manuel Schwarz registered their marriage in a small American chapel. The translated entry is below, and the picture she included is above.

To my beloved TA,
2 January 2011. 3:10pm


On the 1st of January 2011,

we registered our marriage in a small chapel in America.

Because I want everyone in TA to know about this first, I'm writing this now.

I think everyone else knows about this already, but my husband is Mannie.

He is my Last angel.

From now on, I will still continue being the person I have always been.

That's why, I wish for everyone to continue being the same too.

Let's go on at the same speed, watching the same scenery.*

(*line taken from the song NEXT LEVEL)

Taken from http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/ (http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/)

Now she is divorced......,

On January 16th, Hamasaki Ayumi announced through her official fan club site, “Team Ayu“, that she is divorcing her husband Manuel Schwarz.

Ayu wrote, “I am reporting that I will be filing for divorce on Monday in America,” and explained the reason for divorce. “The reason lies within myself. At the time of our marriage, we decided to live in America, however, because of the Tohoku Earthquake that occurred two months later, a strong feeling sprouted within me that I didn’t want to be apart from Japan. I wasn’t able to imagine a life in America, and as a result, I left my husband by himself for a long period of time.” (http://www.tokyohive.com/2012/01/hamasaki-ayumi-to-file-for-divorce/)

Hamasaki Ayumi announces her engagement with a 25-year-old UCLA graduate student
December 13, 2013

On December 12, Hamasaki Ayumi announced on her official fan club site "Team Ayu" her engagement with an American man.

According to her announcement, her fiance is a 25-year-old graduate student at UCLA. The couple met each other through a friend's introduction during the New Year holidays in January 2013, and began dating in the spring.

They got officially engaged on December 12, but they have not decided exactly when they would register their marriage at this moment.

Hamasaki previously married Austrian actor, Manuel Schwarz who she co-starred with in her music videos in January 2011, but divorced in January the following year.

On December 16, singer Hamasaki Ayumi returned to Japan from Los Angeles on Singapore Airlines with her fiance.

A few days ago, Hamasaki announced her engagement to a 25-year-old UCLA graduate student. On this day, she appeared hand-in-hand with her fiance in front of the press. Reporters gave their blessings to the couple to which Hamasaki answered "Thank you." She hid her engagement ring on her left ring finger with her sleeve.

According to sources, the two will spend the rest of the year in Japan to get ready for her appearance on NHK's 'Kohaku Uta Gassen' as well as her countdown lives from the 29th to the 31st.

Hamasaki Ayumi's staff takes over her Twitter account
October 27, 2015

Singer Hamasaki Ayumi's official Twitter account has been taken over by her staff.

On October 26, her staff tweeted, "This account will be managed and operated by Hamasaki Ayumi's staff to transmit the latest information. We ask for your continued support." While they stated, "ayu herself may tweet sometimes," all tweets until now have been completely deleted.

Hamasaki had over one million followers as of October 26 at 6:00 pm.

Fans were enraged by the sudden announcement. They left replies such as, "I'm against this! It's unforgivable," "To people at avex, why did you delete all of the tweets? Did you delete Ayu's efforts of connecting with fans around the world over the past 5 years? We wanted you to leave them as is," "Eh... why so sudden?" and "Did you have to delete the tweets?"

Management realized that having the staff take over her Twitter will cause them to face some major backlash? Probably.

AramaJapan.com - Ayumi Hamasaki to Retire (http://aramajapan.com/news/ayumi-hamasaki-to-retire/73357/)
- http://aramajapan.com/news/ayumi-hamasaki-to-retire/73357/

*insert Philip J. Fry meme pic with the caption "Not sure if real news, or if April Fools joke"*

Long story short, Ayu performed on the 2017.03.31 episode of Music Station. The article here implies that her performance was pretty bad, and that there was a lot of negative comments on social media. As a result, Ayu apparently decided to retire/quit from the entertainment industry.

Now, as of this post, apparently this would have been posted 2 or 3 days ago (i.e. a day or 2 after the performance, which would possibly mean that it was posted on April 1st). I haven't watched MSta in forever so I have no idea how her performance actually was. Personally, I'm betting it's AramaJapan.com's prank for April Fools Day.
